The destruction of six trains
in separate arson attacks over the past few months in Cape Town have resulted
in major delays to Metrorail's peak hour schedules.

The rail operator has amended
its timetable, which has seen at least 30 trips cancelled indefinitely.

Since the start of the year,
the service has suffered millions of rands worth of damage due to arson
attacks and vandalism.

Metrorail’s Riana
Scott said, they’ve listed all the train numbers affected by the trains
destroyed by arson that are not going to be back in the next six, 12 or 18
months depending on the damage and that they’ve removed them from the timetable,
so that Metrorail customers can know those trains are not running and they can
make plans to get other trains.
